winch, under no circumstances, gave him a right to the mine- rals,which might be discovered beneath the 8 - urfae. These, it was contended, remained in the lord, and these, it was 'also conten,A, passed to Mr. Rashleigh, not only as lord of the manor, but as lessee of the mines tinder several leases granted by h i ss present Majesty, when Prince 'of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall. It may here be obiervedy that at one period the whole county of Cornwall bonged to the Clown. It .passed by grant from the Kings of England at various times, to relations and favnurites; nha among the latter to Gaves tone themininn of the weak and unfortunate Edward the second. On Gavestoil's subsequent attainder it reverted to the Crown; and by the third Edward was granted to his son Edward the Black Prince, , by a charter, confirmed afterwards by Parliament, and which charter rendered the property inalienable from the then Earldom (afterwards Duchy) of Cornwall. Those who claim through .-Mr. Rashleigh and against Mr. Rowe, contend, therefore , that the duchy property is inalienable, and the utmost in terest. which a tenant of a duchy manor can have in the that of a customary tenant, the freehold always re mainqigi vested in the Lord; and if this he correct, it would saloW that a mere copyhold tenant could haVe no interest- in the mines, unless by express grant or special custom, and that they might be disposed of by the Lord, as he pleased. The Duchy itself vests in the eldest son of the reigning King from the moment of his birth. When there is no son, it, as a matter of course, reverts to the Crown, and follows the regal succession, tlis present Majesty, therefore, was Duke of Ciwnwall at his birth, and having no son, the dudiy his never been divested from him. Mr. Sergeant Wilde' stated the case for the plaintiff, observing that he (the plaintiff) had been for some years in the possession of the mine, a circurnstance 'which in itself seemed to imply a right. He believed that a claim would be set up in support of the defendants.; Which, if well founded, would shake the title to property in Corn wall to an alarming extent. The Attorney-General, for the defendant s observed,, that in Cornwall there were two leading descriptions of tenants, some were called free tenants, the other conven tionary tenants ; the former Ireld an estate equivalent to freehold, the latter resembled more nearly the tenants of copyholds in the nature and quantity of their estate. It was not denied that this property was held by conven tionary tenancy, and the question would be as to die in cidents of that tenancy. The plaintiff wished of course to extend its advantages : the defendant to prove them limited. The putting in of documentary evidence was then corn mence,d, and occupied nearly the remainder of the day. SATURDAY. Nearly the whole of the day was occupied in receiving documentary evidence; principally the assessional rolls, and the ministers' accounts relating to the Duchy. ; Those documents have been ehiedy directed to the manor of Tewington, within which the mines have been found. The amount of their import appears to be, that the tenants are mere copyholders, or leaseholders, with the right of perpetual renewal from seven years to aeon years. At about three o'clock the Foreman of the Jury showed symptoms of illness, arising from exhaustion, caused by the two days confinement. He was, taken out, and the business was suspended for some time. A discussion followed upon the question whether the parties would both , ,consent to proceed with the. remaining LI Jurors, and be; bound by their verdict. This was not considered advis able ; and the opinion of the medical gentlemen being, that the Foreman of the Jury would hot be 'sufficiently recovered by Monday to attend, the Court was adjourned, imtil Monday morning. In the interim it is understood that the Counsel on both sides will meet, and settle upon so much of the documentary evidence adduced from the ; Duchy-office as can be reeeivea without oblection. by this arrangement some, tl m e, will be saved.

" " I trust that the examples Made not only by our ves sels, but by those of England, will tend to put down these pirates; but it is not to be expected that they will be VOoted out while the struggle continues in Greece, because it is almost impossible to distinguish among so ninny ves sels armed for the general cause, those which occasionally commit acts of piracy ; and besides, we often hesitate, perhaps too often, to destroy vessels, against which we have the strongest suApicions, because we do not wish to deprive the Greeks of their assistance against the enemy. " The new Government at last has published their pro clamation. It is to be regretted that such measures had not been resorted to sooner, for though the Government has not the means to carry them into full effect, they will be of use to us as rules, in cases of emergency." NAXPLIA, Juxr PROCLAMATION OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERN MENT OF GREECE AGAINST THE PIRATES, Reflecting with sorrow on the inefficiency of all the measures taken to put an end to the piracies committed on our seas, convinced that these unpardonable and fright ful robberies, the work of men given to wickedness, and unworthy of the Grecian name, bring down on the whole nation the indignation of neutrals, and the hatred of all those nations whose commerce suffers in consequence ; wishing to put an end, by every possible means, to these piracies,' and to bring the offenders to a condign punish ment---for the accomplishment of which objects the Go vernment has again and again claimed the co-operation of neutral ships of war in the Archipelago, the Committee of Direction declares as follows Art: 1. No Greek vessel, with the exception of those which form part of the - Greek fleet, have the right of car rying the war-flag, or of cruising either in the Greek seas, or in those adjoining. 2. The commanders of vessels, even those armed, and which forth part of the Greek fleet, and having, besides their regular papers, a commission from the Government, either for a cruise or for the blockade of any place, or are authorised by a special order from the Admiral of the fleet, are prohibited from stopping neutral vessels, unless these vessels, on the enemy's coast, are carrying . to the fleet or army, or any fortress of the enemy, provisions, warlike stores, or any other commodities that are accounted con traband in time of war. 3. Upon this declaration, the following description of vessels shall 1)r regarded as pirates :-1. Those which without forming a part of the Greek fleet, shall cruise in those seas. 2. Those which belong to that fleet, but which are not provided with regular papers, or letters of marque, signed by the Government or by the Admiral. 3. All the small armed vessels fitted up for a cruise, such as the mit ticks, the peranies, and those called elephtines. 4. The local authorities established in the isles or on the coasts of Greece, and the Commanders of vessels of war provided with regular papers, are ordered to stop and deliver up to Government all those vessels which, accord ing to the preceding article, ought to be regarded as pirates. If the vessels make resistance, the vessels of war are to pursue them, and either sink or burn them; if taken, deliver up the crew to Government. .5. It is expressly forbidden, after the date of this decla ration, to construct peramea. elephtincs, and vessels of that deieription, evidently made .for the purpose of cruising as pirates. If those who are at present building such ves-' sels do .not immediately cease, •or if any after this shall commence anew, they: shall be liable to fine and imprison ment, 6. All neutral vessels loaded 'with contraband warlike stores, which shall be taken by any of the vessels belong- . Mg to the Greek fleet, properly qualified, aecording to Art. 2, shall be immediately carried to the nearest port, where an Admiralty Court is established, in order to be examined condemned, if illegal. ".Purther, if those who capture them shall, before carrying them into auch — port, either touch the cargo, or take poaseaaimeof it by force, if the/ insult or wound the captain, the sailors, or passen gers, ,lot only shall they lose their share of the prizes, but they than he considered as pirates, and' condemned ac cordingly. 7. The present declaration shall be transmitted to the Admirals and Commanders of the neutral vessels in the Mediterranean, whose co-operation the Greek Government again claim, in order to put a step more effectually to those piracies which excite opprobrium and general in dignation against the people who are innocent, and against the whole,Greek nation, although these piracies do not injure more the commerce of neutral nations .than that of the Greeks themselves, whose houses, property, and even life, at times, not secure against the attacks of these plunderers.

VENICE, JULY 13..—(Extract of a private letter). — The generosity of the people of Europe, is behalf of the Greeks, has already produced its effect in that country, overpowered by the intrigues'of Austrian Cabinets, and by the finance which has weakened the combatants. Ibrahim, in his different marches through the Pelopon twain, during the last year, purposely destroyed all the produce of the country, and the Greek warriors, when provisions failed, could not leave their families without exposing to imminent danger those dear pledges for which they had taken up arms. No* that the fortresses are pro visioned, the Government furnishes victuals to those who join the army, and at the same time provides for their fa milies, during their absence. In consequence of this, the forces in the Peloponnesus are concentrating themselves for another campaign. The Captain of a vessel, who left the coast of Cerigo about the end of June, as sures us, that six battles have been fought between Ibrahim's troops and the Greeks on the mountains of Arcadia, in all of which the enemy retired with loss. Ibrahim has not more than 7000 troops of every description. Colocotroni, who aims at something more than the freedom of his country, will do all he can to chase the enemy from the Peloponnesus. Nieetas is the only General whose only ob j ect is the liberty of Greece. A part of the Greek fleet is gone towards the coast of Asia Minor, in the neighbourhood of Smyrna.. It is said that the Pacha of that city - had collected Some thousands or Asiatics, for the purpose of transporting them to the island of Samos. Lord Cochrane, who is expected with much impatience, had not arrived by the end of June. The nevi's of his departure for Greece has given new life to the Greek Navy. Since the arrival of the Turkish fleet in the Dardanelles, a frigate struck on a rock and became leaky. The Cap taro, an Italian by birth, thinking the damage irreparable, and fearing for his life, deserted the v essel, and made his escape into the country. He was pursued, arrested in a village of Asia-Minor, and brought before the Pacha, who, on seeing that the prisoner was an infidel Franks ordered him immediately to be hung up at the yard-arm. we ar , e Among the fashionable arrivals at Cowes, bound to notice .

CONNTANTINOPLE, JULY 3.-4 t seems certain that the Janissaries have been surprised by the energetic and san guinary measures of the Sultan.

The Janissaries of the capital have disappeared ; they are either incorporated with the new troops, executed, or banished to Asia. All these measures have been accom plished with such energy that the inhabitants of Constan tinople have not only beheld the executions with indif• ferente, but they even rejoice on the destruction of the Janissaries. The Sultan knowing the spirit of his nation, does not' give the proper time to take breath amidst all the reforms. lie appears among his troops, who are exercised in, the new unifor►in, which is very nearly an European dress; and what appears the most incredible, is to see Egyptian officers discipline the proud Turks, Who formerly entertained such a sovereign contempt for them. GREECE. Extract of a letter to his Excellency the Minister of the Marine, from M. the Chevalier de Rigny, commanding the French naval forces in the Levant : Mao, Joua 19. " I have the honour to inform you, that the crew of the corvette Echo have captured, ott the island of Thermia, a band of pirates, who landed there to defend their vessel. The Lieutenant of the vessel Guezenuec, at the head of 40 men, while the crew of the F,cho were debarking, suc ceeded in dislodging the banditti from the rocks where they had taken shelter. Three of the pirates who were severely wounded in the action are since dead. The s sal, one of those c4lledPerantes, has been taken and car ed to .4rayrna. I knew for a long time that the head-quarters of these pirates were in the island of Egina, and proceeded thither in consequence, with the S:yrene and Galatea frigates, and the goalette Dauphinobte. 1 landed 300 men under the orders of Revert, the Captain of one of the frigates. They proceeded in different divisions and attacked the pirates, and destroyed or carried off fourteen of their ves sels. By a singular circumstance at the moment when we appeared off the point of land where the city stands, the brave Canaris was engaged in a desperate conflict with a large body of these robbers. Furious at the thoughts that Greeks should resort to such a profession, he ordered one of their vessels to be burnt before their eyes, as a warning. As soon as the frigates appeared, the robbers fled, and Canaris came immediately on board to thank us for our timely assistance. I have also burnt - the perames, which were on the stocks. A part of the inhabitants assisted us in this undertaking, and I have prom se to leave a vessel t o cruise off the port, for the purpose o f protect i ng them against these pirates. The following is the letter sent to me by the Ipsariote Primates, who ltad fled to Egina for an asylum We are full of gratitude for the services which you have rendered ILI in rooting out the pirates who in sue this island. We hope to he delivered from the robbers the miseries which they have so long inflicted on us. There remain four vessels, two rnistics and two perames; and we entreat you to pur.lie tbem. We hope that by your en deavours, a part of those who have so disgraced themselves will return to the defeuee of their country. As to our selcres, vie have to this day fought for our country. We remain of the intention, and we will fight to our last breath, after leaving our families under your p?otection, in case any calamity should befal us. We entreat you to ask , ... . .

It has been finally settled that his Grace the Duke of MANCHESTER IS to return from Jamaica, and suc ceed the late Earl of CHICHESTER as Post Master General. This arrangement has, we understand, been made at the special desire of the KING, who has been graciously pleased to express his approbation of his Grace's administration of the Government of Jamaica, and his wish that it should be rewarded by a permanent appointment at home ; His MAJESTY'S considerate attention to the claims of long and conspicuous ser vices have thus been again manifested in filling the pre sent vacant situation, and we are certain that all classes will fully admit the propriety and justice of the KING'S choice. The Duke of MANCHESTER will be suc ceeded in the Government of Jamaica by Earl BATHURST, whose long and able administration of Colonial affairs, as one of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, pre-eminently qualifies him for that most important and difficult office. His Lord ship's perfect acquaintance with the whole policy of His MAJ ESTY ' S Government with respect to the Slave question, his distinguished talents, and his manly and elegant deportment, combine to tender him the fittest man in the Empire to be entrusted with the Government of Jamaica in the present state of our West India Colonies. Lord BATHURST'S seat in His MAJESTY'S COUII- 1 cas will be filled by the Earl of .AuEnDEBN, of whom it. iw only i►eceawory to toay thot to oplentliti -actittirs. meats have long pv . ihteit,4l,m - ouv as a Nobleman, on whom the Country might properly call, to take part in the direction of its affairs. We have received since our last the Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday, and the Etoile of Saturday morning, from which we have given long extracts in another column, affording information from all parts of Europe in which the state of public affairs is de serving of attention. The intelligence from Constantinople comes down to the 3d inst. at which time the SULTAN was still prosecuting his measures with the utmost energy and with complete success. The Eddie has the following curious observation on this Sovereign. It says "He " seems chosen by fate to destroy in the East the sys " tem of stability which forms the happiness of the " W est, and to effect a revolution which will be felt " in the three parts of the Globe." It will be observed by the report from the French Admiral de RIGNY r in the Levant, that his squadron has been active in as sisting to exterminate the pirates ; and the proclama tion which has been issued by the provisional Govern ment of Greece, while it exonerates the Greek Go vernment from the suspicion of toleratingthese robbers, will much contribute to put an end to their proceed ings. We have before stated, that if Lord Coot RA NE should join the Greek cause, .the entire suppression of piracy will be the first object against which his Lord ship's attention will be directed.

The accounts from Madrid in the French Papers arc of the most conflicting description. Some of the papers describe the events of Portugal as having ex cited in Spain all 4t the fervour of expression that en thusiasm produces," while others represent that they have occasioned very different feelings, and are viewed with the utmost al a r m . S o me even repeat with con fidence the former statement, that a military force is to be assembled on the frontiers of Portugal, to prevent the importation of the principles which the Constitu. don of that Kingdom will generate, and affirm that Austria and other Governments are to protest against and denounce this obnoxious Charter. The whole power, however, of the arbitrary governments will not prevent the establishment of the Constitution of Por tugal, nor be able to arrest the Fogel,' of those prin. ciples on which it is f oun ded, and of that de s i re f or liberal institution s w hi c h is spreading through out t h e civilized world. We subjoin two articles from Madrid of the 17th and 18th inst,, given in the French Papers as t prtva e correspondence MADRID, Juts 17.—An extramdinary courier arrived this morning from Lisbon to the English Ambassador, and immediately another set out, dispatched by Mr. Lamb to dc L'lnfantado, at Cuenca, Sacedon, or wherever he could find that Minister. The exultation which the Portuguese charter has ex cited here, it would be difficult to describe.

It is remarked, that since the events of Portugal became known, a number of old public bonds of a purely nominal value have disappeared from the exchange, and that nothing is seen there now but the royal impression and the vales reales, and that already bargains are publicly made in bonds of the Cortes. I informed you that our Cabinet had consulted' hat of the Tuilleries, with respect to the conduct it ought to ob serve towards Portugal. The answer to this communica tion has arrived, arkl it is of such a kind, as to show that your Ministers perceive, though somewhat late,. the fault they committed in allowing the ordonnance of Andnar to fall into desuetude; for persons very worthy of credit have assured me that France, in this answer, speaks of the im possibility of lavishing any longer her treasures upon Spain, and gives it to be understood, that it is impossible to dispute the legality or legitimacy of the act of the Em peror of Brazil, and the conduct of our Government itself proves that it is convinced of this truth. . MADRID, July DEL—Nothing is discussed here but the affairs of Portugal. The last news received thence inform us, that discontent assumes there an appearance which be comes daily more and more alarming. At his arrival at Lisbon, Sir C. Stuart solicited un interview with the Minister, Porto Santo, who returned for answer, that hav ing given in his resignation, he thought he ought to ab stain from all diplomatic conferences, and he could not see him even as a private individual, but on condition that there should be no question between them on political matters. The Minister of War has likewise given iln his re signation, and the Minister of Finance has refusekto take charge of the portefetcille oithe Foreign Office. " The Council of State is, at this moment, occupied in discussing what measures may be necessary to guarantee Spain from the dangers that menace it. We are assured that the Members of Council are very much inclined to order those regiments of militia which are on the , war establishment, to march, together with part of the Royal Guard, and some regiments of the line, in order to form a cordon on the frontiers of Portugal, to prevent any com munication between the two nations. General Sartffield is already pointed out as the commander of this corps d'armee, others think that the command will begiven to General the Count D'Espagne. The remainder of our troops and the Royal Volunteers, will be charged with the preservation of the public tranquillity. Their number is more than sufficient for that purpose, for the Royal Volunteers alone, in spite of the discharges recently granted, form a corps of 100,000 men. This, at least, is the result of the last Re port furnished by their Inspector-General Count de Car vajal. A new regulation has just been published, relative to this corps of volunteers, and thanks to that regulation, good order and subordination prevail in this band as much as in the rest. We received Dutch, Hamburgh, and Flanders Papers this morning, bat their contents furnish us with little which had not arrived through other chan nels. The fires in the forests near Stockholm have ceased, after having done immense damage. A trial was proceeding at Liege, against a miller and his three sons, for burning a poor woman, under the belief that she was a witch. We 'have no room for ex. tracts. TICCIIANGES ON LONDON.

CIIANCLI, Lon on Friday last, without drawing the attention of the public to it. We all know that the character of the Court of Chancery has been most laboriously stigmatised, and without doubt there is very great room for amendment in the regulations of its process from the time of putting the complainant's bill upon the file up to the execution of the final decree. 13e tween this commencement and this termination of the suit very many delays occur, much money is spent, and it not unfrequeiitly happens that, after all, when the termination does arrive, the Judge discovers that there is no equity in the plaintiff's case, and dismisses the bill ; that ►s to say, the , Judge discovers what the counsel ought to have known, viz. that the plaintiff's remedy, if any, was at law and not in equity, and there fore lie could not be relieved in a Court of Equity. Of this last nature was the case above mentioned. It was an application by a man to be discharged from custody, in execution upon a judgment obtained in a Court of Law at the suit of a plaintiff who was not entitled to the character in which the defendant at law was sued. For the relief of mischief's of this nature, the law has provided two special remedies, the first by a writ of audita querela, and the last by a summary application to the Court, in the nature of an audita querela ; and. which last is an improvement upon the first, because it is speedier, more equitable, and far less expensive than the first. Now, that any sensible lawyer, barrister, or attorney, should, knowing this fact, presume to apply to a Court of Equity for relief, in such a case as this, is not to be supposed; and the fact that such an implication has been made, can then only be accounted for on the score of absolute and palpable ignorance that such a writ existed; or that such a proceeding would be entertained by a judge at law, 'We are sorry to use these harsh terms towards members of a profession we honor and admire ; but if any gentleman will permit his senses to be hoodwinked; and his understanding imposed upon, by the fashionable mania of carrying every case into Chancery, under that false notion; that a common law attorney is not a gentleman, and how very shockingly vulgar it is to be concerned in common law proceedings, he must . be content t o b ear th e b ur d en o f hi s e xcessive delicacy ; that of having his legal knowledge impugned,„ind of being instructed in his duties,by that scribbling urudge, the Editor of a newspaper. The truth, ind e ed, is, (and it is a highly lament able on e ) th a t gent l eme n of the, Chancery bar are apt to hold the acquirement of any, the slightest know. ledge of Common Law in supreme contempt ; to look upon it as a work of supererrogation, as a thing in which they may condescend to r e c eive instruction at the f h o c l er k s; and in consequen ce , t h ey are ignorant of its principl es , i ts practice, and its remedi es, as an Esquimau% from the arn the ds mostf them r part North Pole, or as the m ost fashionable of them could desire. Now, we tell these. Gentlemen th at the Corn. ;non Law of England even yet survives, and it would b e well if they could doff their contempt, don a little modesty , and betake themselves, - during the pre s blushrecess, to read what theynever did bef ore , ( a nd we ; name it) the third v o l ume o f the Com aries on the Laws of England, by Si r Wild.' Ast cg We assu re , th em t h at t h e wor k is to be had at every bookseller's Ahop i n the United Kingdom ; and moreover, we beg to add, il:neLntAtrroNE, Emit. that as they may have heard of its first two volumes, there are yet t wo more, the reading of which, especially the volume mentioned above, would be greatly to their edification, an d much facilitate the progress of the business of the Courts of Equity. The LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND warn himself a common law lawyer, nay more, was Chief Justice of the Court of Common-Pleas, (Gentlemen , of the Chancery Bar may stare, but the fact is historical). and learnt his principles of Equity from first know ing the principles of the common law. Hence it is: that even now his Lordship is so often compelled to instruct Counsel from his judgment-seat, to point out to them the blunders they have committed; and some turn times even them bac k, like idle naughty school boys, to get their lessons again. Equity follows the law, not law equity, and the gentlemen of the Chan cery bar may . rest assured That if they were a little better acquainted with the common law, they would save themselves from contempt, the valuable time of their Judge from waste, and lastly their Court itself, from a very large portion of all that outcry that has been raised against it, and brought to bear as one grand battery against that good and worthy man, learned lawyer leaed lawyer and upright statesman, Jouri, Ear l of ELDON. It is in some degree to this amazing love of a Chancery suit which some attornies possess, that a great portion of the evils attributed to the constitution of the Court of Chancery may be traced; a constitution we must fairly confess originally defective, but rendered ten times worse by the horrid abuses that have crept into the practice of the Court through the ignorance EquitY Practitioners display of the principles of the COM' mon law. Were, indeed, the recital th at every bill contains, that , 4 forasmuch as your complainant is without remedy at law," strictly - enforced, or in fact anything but a mere. formula of words, a farce that necessarily precedes and leads to the performance of the tragedy that is to follow, the present brazer-tonel outcry . would sink into indistinct murmurs, only heard to remind us that the few evils remained uncured, and called for the healing hand of the Legislature, when .me and leisure could be afforded. THE FUNDS. In our weekly review of the state -of the Money Market last week, we mentioned the fact that while Exchequer Bills and India Bonds; and every descrip tion of heavy Stock had had a considerable rise, the 3 per Cents. remained perfectly inactive, and, indeed, ' showed no appearances whatever of life. Within these last few days, however, as if determined not to be left behind, they have risen nearly 1 per Cent., and the market has assumed a more healthy appearance.
